Society finch color...?

Post by newlinta » Sun Apr 18, 2010 8:52 pm

One of my society pairs had a clutch of 5 a few months ago.
Mom is chocolate/pied and dad is fawn/pied...
All of the babies were a mix of the two but one.
He is all white with a light fawn head/chest...at first I thought an "ino" mutation,
but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have red eyes.
Do all the ino's have red eyes?Could it be clearwing?
Here are a few pics of him just now begining to molt...

Any thoughts would definitely be appreciated!!

I don't know for sure what that colouring would be called... other than beautiful!

Do you have a handicapped finch in that cage? I'm just wondering why there is a platform in there.

He looks great on the perch! =D>

Oh really? that's so interesting. That was one of my babies!! It's amazing what they can throw and carry, and glad to hear he turned out to be a good father too. =D>
